II may not be generally known that
important mining operations are carried
on within the Arctic Circle. Cryolite
j. brought from Greenland 10 Philadel-
phia by the ship load to be used in the
making Of candles. At Alien, near the
North Cape in Finmark, extensive copper
mines have been worked for a long time.
When it Is remembered that most Of the
work has to be done under ground, and
that hestis what the workmen suffer most
from, it becomes apparent at once that
mines may be almost as profitable in
those high ATTITUDES as they would be on
our coast. The main thing is to have
communication open once q year for
bringing supplies and carrying away the
ores.
An engineer who visited the mines at
Alien a few years ago, to study the con-
diiion in which they were worked, found
that the climate interposed no obstacle.
The mines. when fairly deep, arc warmer
in winter than in summer.
In such work as has to be done above
ground, there is scarcely any Interrupt
ton. During the three dark months,
when the sun does not shine, there is no
lack Of light TO the eye accustomed to the
conditions. The sky is clear and starry,
and the aurora is playing most of the time,
whatever light there is, the reflection from
the snow increases and intensiies.
More than hundred and fifty years
ago mining was carried on extensively
about the shores Of the White Sea by
Saxon workmen. Silver, copper, and
lead were produced in quantities.
Now that the whale fishery has de
elinel, mining enterprise seems most
likely Of anything 10 promote explora-
ton and settlement within the Arctic Cir

The Rane of Engineers.

Moonlight nights-they are the bane
Of railroad engineers, remarked head
official of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-.
road to a Cincinnati C0mmereia! GasettS
reporter. He is a gentleman who knows
| every branch of railroading.
= --~sll L. slaausht that the train
men would be glad to have moonlight
inights,n interposed the writer.
mo, sir; all engineers dread noon
light nights; they try the nerves of the
engineers to the utmost. Engineers like to
run on dark nights. On moonlight
at all-shadows An engineer, looking
out from his engine, sees before him all
manner of shadows. He is sure that the
shadow across the track is a man, or a
rock, or some kind of an obstruction.
He doesn't know, and he is kept in a
state of nervous excitement all the time.
Going around curves along hillsides,
many curious shadows are outlined on the
track, and very often an engineer is SO
worked up over a nights ride that he Is
scarcely able to perform his duties.
Some years ago, when was going over
the main stem Of the Baltimore and Ohio
one night. there was freight wreck i.
ahead of us. They were running freight ,
in conveys then, or as we now call
them, in sections Our train was stopped
and went forward to see what was the
damage. Lying in a cut was about the
worst freight wreck Ihaye ever seen. l
went forward to see what the trouble
WAS. 1t was a moonlight night and when
| got forward l saw the engineer He
was shaking all over with excitement
He was one of the oldest and best en-
gineers on the road and | was surprised
to see him so nervous, as he escaped IN
hurt
What is the trouble, TJmF asked
him. l could see nothing wrong.

Il looked around, but could see ND
rock any where The wreck was cleared
away that night and there wasn't sign
of an obstruction near the locomotive.
We all were curious to find out what had
caused the trouble. The next night a
railroad man went TO the cut. and there
IN the moonlight he saw a perfect image
of a big rock lying across the track. He
looked up on the hillside and there was
a big rock throwing its shadow down on
the track that caused a wreck that cost
the company thousands Of dollars. No,
sir; if an engineer wants things to suit
him, he don't want moonlight by which
to run his train

The main prison in Kajibashi is stu
ated in a central place of the capital,
Toxic. and is under the direct control of
the minister of the interior. The build
ing is two stories high, and made in the
shape Of cross. In each story there
are forty cages, making eighty cages in
all. Each cage is nine feet square. The
japanese Government manages to keep
many prisoners in this prison for two or
three years without any public trial.
Each cage generally contains ten or
eleven prisoners, who cat and sleep in
this small box. Or, perhaps, it is better
to say the prisoners try to sleep, heaped
I'D one over the other. There are always
from 800 to 900 prisoners kept in this
way. Many become sick, and some die.

An old shoemaker tells the st. Louis
G}0Je- Democrat Of n trick or two in shoe
making which he learned when he was a
boy, which appears to be still hidden
mysteries to lot of the fashionable shoe
makers. One Of these concerns not only
the appearance of the shoe but the com
fort of the wearer. How many times do
YOU see mems big toes rising in high re-
lief impressions above the surface of the
upperl Naturally you feel that the
wearer Of such shoe must suffer from
This pressure on his big toe, and he does;
if not Immediately. at some time in the
future The whole difficulty can be
obviated by providing n depression in
the sole OF the shoe into which the toe
will tit. This depression is obtained by
fastening a piece on the last and beating
the sole around it untilit is nodded to it.
When the toe is thus cared for there will
he no ingrowing toe-nails and no un-
slightly protrusion Of the upper. Another
thing that may be interesting to shoe
wearers and to shoemakcrs is this: A
blistered or sore heel caused by new
shoe may be relieved by taking a small
piece of common newspaper, crushing it
in the hand and placing it under the all
ing heel. The bit OF paper has the effect
of lift" and forcing the foot forward
in the shoe leaves the heal entirely free
